The Li6dS6 you need. Telmark has been leasing equipment for over 35 years. Did you know that we’ve been leasing new buildings for that long too? Consider: Tax deductibility and accelerated deductions: Lease payments are income tax deductible over the term of the lease compared to 20-year depreciation of farm buildings and 39-year depreciation of commercial buildings. Could reduce tax liability this year. Low upfront costs: Beginning costs as little as one monthly lease payment Flexible lease term: Building lease terms start aggressively at five years but may be as long as ten, twelve, or fifteen years. Customized payment schedules: Lease payment schedules are specially designed to match your cash flow. First: Talk with a qualified builder to determine your needs and building cost Then: Call your Telmark representative for your financing.
